There is an important distinction, IMHO, between what PET sees as
"work in progress" and what we (pkg-ruby-extras) see as -wip: The
later means they are packages which do not affect Debian's QA, as they
have not yet been uploaded for the first time. So they could IMHO be
added as a "first upload pending" category, or something like that,
mainly to keep them under the radar and so that the group does not
forget about them just because the ITPer has forgotten (or in any
case, somebody can resume ITP work).
